U+314C "ㅌ" Hangul Letter Thieuth Unicode Character

U+314C "ㅌ" Hangul Letter Thieuth is a consonant jamo representing the aspirated alveolar plosive sound, pronounced like the 't' in the English word "top" with a strong burst of air. It functions as a building block within the Hangul script, used to form syllables by combining with vowels in either initial or final positions, such as in the word "타자" (taja) meaning typing. Historically, the name "Thieuth" derives from the Korean letter's traditional linguistic designation, and its shape is based on the outline of a tongue touching the upper palate, reflecting the phonetic principles of King Sejong's 15th century creation of the alphabet.
